Admission is based on your secondary school grades and school leaving exam results. The institution converts them into points using its own formula – the details are in the call for applications (natječaj).
Some faculties also hold additional tests (dodatne provjere). You have to register for them in advance – at the University of Zagreb by 31 May 2026 for the July round and by 24 August 2026 for the September round.
